Coastal Surveillance Systems

Elbit Security Systens (“ELSEC”) Coastal Surveillance and Management System (ICSS) is a highly sophisticated, multi-layer system employing advanced surveillance from autonomous, remotely operated sites. These sites feature long-range coastal surveillance radar synchronized with a long-range day-night video surveillance system LORROSTM. Each site is a self-sufficient unit, in terms of power, communication, site security and processing. This enables independent deployment of sites in stages.The system is remote-controlled from a central control room. All the data from the sites is routed to the central control room via wireless, fiber-optic, or other existing communication infrastructure, where it is processed and displayed.

Advantages include:High probability of detection, identification and classification of maritime targets and low-altitude aircraft (by radars and EO sensors)Advanced functions for evaluating and analyzing tactical informationFast and robust processing to allow handling of high-density environmentsFast, wide and reliable method of collection and distribution of information among physically scattered decision makersMinimum work force – high level of automation• Cost effective – easy to operate and maintain• Flexible design for configuration changesThe core of this system is comprised of :

High performance, long-range coast surveillance radar, specially adapted to coastal and sea environments (clutter and sea environment)High quality long-range day/night/laser observation systems, employing third generation thermal imagersObservation towers complete with their own power unit, perimeter fence and site securityWide-band wireless communication modules for each coastal surveillance siteOptional mobile surveillance vehicles for coverage of areas not covered by the towersPersonal surveillance sensors, such as hand-held third generation thermal imagers, night vision goggles and personal equipmentDigitized control center facilitating coastal surveillance and management software, large LCD displays, digital maps and high tech control console for the operators
